CXXFLAGS Selects compilation options for when the C++ compiler is used, e.g. "-Wall". """ Seems like CFLAGS="$RPM_BUILD_OPTS -Werror" should do the trick. - parallel build: """ JOBS The amount of parallel jobs when building targets, if no --jobs option is given. """ waf takes the short option -j as well, so this is almost identical to using make: waf build %{?_smp_mflags} It looks like there's already a page for using cmake: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Cmake so the Waf page should eventually end up there, after going through PackagingDraft.
